The retaining of a tang extension is, in my opinion something that should be done of not much else if being done to the gun. Or is refurbishment of the existing good parts is being done.
But, if a gun were being completely restored. Or in your guns case, a stock needs replacing due to catastrophic damage, it is my opinion that a tang extension be removed and the gang made correct again.
The only scenario that it would really justify it being left is if there is some way to document and prove that it was special order factory work.
